-Wilco's You Are My Face

(Sorta fell in love with this phrase while Jeff and I were listening to Wilco the other night. Tweety's song-writing skills amaze-a-me.)

I wasn't a huge fan of Sky Blue Sky (although admittedly I didn't give it more than a quick listen), but after catching Wilco on Austin City Limits a few weeks ago, I think Tweedy's still got it. The band is a real force live. I'm hoping their next record will be more challenging thematically and musically, but that may be too much to ask. Still, they gave us an amazing run from Summerteeth to A Ghost is Born. And Being There certainly had its moments as well.
